[TEC] Random merchies not so random?

[Galanti]

Bump - I ran into three of the damn things 'randomly' last night (7000 ton Large Modern Composite - Nagara class).

Actually, is there a listing or chart anywhere of what all the Type entries in the .MIS files are? I see variations in the campaign files (Type 101, 102, 103) and I assume they either refer to specific classes or broad categories of ship. If so, I can fix this myself.

Search for names.cfg, somewhere under data\roster, IIRC. The category of each ship is set in its entry under each country in roster. They are limited, though, and I don't think you can add new ones. The category a ship is in affects AI behaviour, so inventing new ones is likely to confuse the game.
